Podcast: Radio Free Nintendo Special

Nov. 13 1:19 PM by Lynxara

A shockingly good and compact Radio Free Nintendo covers a lot of aspects of the Super Mario Galaxy launch, from the low supplies to the sky-high review scores. The hands-on impressions are sort of interesting, but my favorite part of this was the debate about the meaning and validity of review scores. I'm not a fan of scored reviews myself (they encourage people not to read the accompanying text), but I think they linger because no one's thought of anything better yet. Once someone does, maybe we'll see some change. In the meantime, 10/10 is almost the only intelligible thing to say about a game like Galaxy.
